Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 443: Extra Wealth Secret

"Next time I see him, I will beat him up!" Jiang Wangri was also angry. He looked so ordinary, and he was lucky enough to have a gigolo. It must be the blessing of his ancestors. How dare he not cherish her!

Can’t you see that he is so handsome and yet he is working hard to save money to get a wife?

Thinking of the braised mutton he had given away, Jiang Wangri became even angrier. His wife Ben!

Jiang's mother was also very angry. After all, since the marriage between her family's Nian Nu and the Cui family was arranged, although the Jiang family did not become famous, it was already considered a family with some foundation among the common people, and there was a good marriage in hand.

How could I be targeted by such a person?

"A poor gigolo dares to plot against our Zhenying. Mother, we can't let this go!" Jiang's mother waved her strong arms in the air, as if she wanted to beat Qi Sanlang to death from a distance.

Old Madam Xia was better than all of them. Although her face was as gloomy as water, her mood swings did not seem to be very big. As people grow older, they become more cunning. People in their old age have seen a lot of dirty things, especially when she was in the countryside, she had seen countless dirty things about cheating on her husband and having mistresses.

Compared to all that, this was nothing. Although she was angry, he was just a fickle, ungrateful, and heartless man. Things like this were just normal. "What do you want to do?"

“This, this…”

Jiang's mother was somewhat speechless. Although she was very angry, she couldn't say what she wanted to do. She stammered, "Wait until Jiulang comes back and tell him..."

"Pooh!"

Old Madam Xia spat at her, "We're old now, and we don't need this skin anymore, but we have to save some for our children! If we bring up such a shameful matter in front of Jiulang and offend him, how will the Cui family view us young slaves?"

After hearing this, Jiang's mother and the other two all lowered their heads. Once they met a rich son-in-law like Cui Bianxu, who was particularly good to Jiang Shangxian, although they were not so proud of him, they still subconsciously wanted to ask Cui Bianxu for help when they encountered problems.

Jiang Shangxian understood their thoughts. This was actually a normal human behavior, just like registering at a hospital. If you wanted to make an appointment with a specialist but couldn't get one, what should you do?

If you happen to have a relative working in a hospital, you can just call an expert and get an appointment, or you can go there before 8:30 in the morning and be the first one to see the doctor. Most people will choose to ask someone for help.

Seeing them like that, Old Lady Xia rolled her eyes and said to Jiang Shangxian, "Don't worry about this for now."

Xiao Jiang, who was thinking about taking Lao Fan and the others to put on the sack herself, blinked. If Xiao Cui was there, she wouldn't mind asking for help, but since Xiao Cui was not there, she felt embarrassed to ask Wang Mingqian and the others about this.

I could tell my mother-in-law about it, but with her temper, she would definitely be in a hurry to put on the sack with me!

He is a person who loves to play. When he was in Qinghe, someone was watching him. After coming to Chang'an, he became so lazy that he was idle for a long time. He was eager to find something exciting.

"When we open the shop tomorrow, if Qi Sanlang comes again, Erlang, you should ask him to leave. We don't want to do business with people like him. If he asks you anything, you don't need to pay attention to him. We should not get involved with such bad people and bad things."

Old Madam Xia's decision was that the Jiang family could afford the loss of just a few slices of braised mutton. The most important thing for them now was to avoid touching this kind of stuff at all. Don't even mention what Jiang Wangri said about beating them up next time they see them.

After all, he is a student who came to take the exam. If he beats someone in broad daylight, that person might report it to the police!

No matter how you look at it, they are not in the right in this matter. A fine or forty lashes is fine. At most, they can give the executing bailiffs some money to make them go easy on them. But they are afraid that Xia Zhenying will be dragged into this, and in the end the Cui family will have to clean up the mess.

There is only half a month left before Jiang Shangxian sets out for Qinghe. At this critical juncture, nothing can affect this marriage.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Yangyang Noodle House reopened.

Jiang Shangxian also got up early and went to the store with her. Jiang Wangri's kung fu was not as good as hers, and he did not have as many lethal weapons as her. If something really happened, Xiao Jiang felt that he still had some practical experience.

The six members of the Jiang family stood in a row in the store and recited a secret of making extra money that Jiang Shangxian learned from Liu Manqiang during the New Year: The gods are carrying extra money on the moon, and the treasures of the universe will come to you. Friendship protects the house and makes you happy to go out. There is no extra money in the moon, and I sincerely ask the Heavenly Lord to bless you with wealth.

After reciting it piously, everyone started to get busy.

Although Old Madam Xia downplayed the matter, she kept watching outside the next day.

The family's appearance in the noodle shop in an orderly manner surprised many old neighbors who came over specifically to eat.

In order to avoid being talked to by the neighbors, Xiao Jiang stayed in the kitchen.

The topic outside gradually shifted from her marriage to Madam Zhou.

"You're lucky to be away from our neighborhood this year!"

Jiang's mother, who had drooped her eyelids after getting up early, suddenly brightened up like a light bulb. She glanced at Old Madam Xia, who was busy washing vegetables at the door of the store, and quietly moved over to ask, "What happened?"

She was almost suffocating. In previous years, the New Year celebrations in Yong'anfang were so lively, with endless gossip and bad words. This year, the food in Jiahuifang was better, and there were more family members, but there was basically no gossip - if there was any, it was only among her own family!

She's been holding it in so much, with so much gossip in her head that she has nowhere to vent it, so she just farts all day long.

"It's the caravan of Madam Zhou's brother from her family. They haven't returned since the New Year. The families in the two or three nearby neighborhoods who deposited money are all waiting for the money to celebrate the New Year."

Whose family has an easy time saving money?

Although I didn't invest all my belongings, I still took out a big portion. Throughout the year, I've been looking forward to getting this money back so that I can have a good year.

It's not just the prosperous year, many families are waiting for money to prepare for their children's marriages. Isn't the New Year a good time to visit each other?

"You guys missed so many great shows when you weren't living in Yong'anfang. It hasn't stopped since the 29th day of the first lunar month until yesterday. The threshold of Madam Zhou's house has been practically trampled flat. Every day someone comes to ask for her family. It's such a scene, wow..."

Mother Jiang was filled with longing after hearing this. She even wanted to move back to Yong'anfang alone to watch the fun. For so many years, she had never seen anyone quarrel with others from the 29th day of the lunar year until the Lantern Festival!

But he still had to show some concern: "Did Madam Zhou tell me what news her brother has?"
